St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network announces the launch of its new Veterans Health Care Navigation Line, a dedicated resource designed to simplify access to care and provide personalized guidance for veterans and their families.<\/p>\n
The service began this month, marking a significant step forward in the Network\u2019s commitment to serving those who have served our nation.<\/p>\n
By calling 484-526-VETS (8387), veterans can connect directly with a specialized team trained to assist with navigating the health care system, including support with insurance questions, referrals, scheduling appointments and accessing benefits.<\/p>\n
The new navigation line is part of a broader initiative to create a more coordinated, accessible, and veteran-centered care experience across St. Luke\u2019s. In addition to the navigation line, St. Luke\u2019s is gathering direct feedback from veterans to better understand their needs, introducing a specialized hospital bracelet to identify and support veteran patients, and offering veteran-focused events such as the Veterans Hike held on June 13.<\/p>\n
\u201cVeterans deserve access to high-quality, coordinated care, and our goal is to make that experience as seamless as possible,\u201d said Chad Brisendine, chief information officer and chair of St. Luke\u2019s Veterans Services Committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Veterans Health Care Navigation Line connects veterans directly with knowledgeable team members who understand their unique needs and are dedicated to guiding them every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
St. Luke\u2019s has long been committed to honoring and supporting veterans through comprehensive health care services, community partnerships, and employment and education opportunities.<\/p>\n
The navigation line enhances these efforts by providing a single, trusted point of contact for veterans seeking care across the Network.<\/p>\n
This effort reflects St. Luke\u2019s mission to ensure every veteran receives high-quality care close to home, delivered by providers who understand the unique physical, emotional, and transitional challenges associated with military service.<\/p>\n
From primary and specialty care to mental health services and wellness programs, St. Luke\u2019s offers a continuum of care tailored to veterans and military families. The Network works closely with TRICARE, the VA Community Care Network, and other military health programs to ensure seamless coordination and access.<\/p>\n
The Veterans Health Care Navigation Line reinforces this commitment, offering personalized assistance so veterans can focus on their health, their families and the lives they\u2019ve earned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published July 21. 2026 02:45PM St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network announces the launch of its new Veterans Health…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154],"class_list":["post-248802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
